We care about green energy and sustainability
The ZIEGLER GmbH is using just CO2-neutral steel. Our steel is produced in Finland and Sweden with electricity from hydropower. In addition, our factories are equipped with their own high-performance solar systems. We are producing at the moment 50% our total electricity consumption by ourselves. At our largest ZIEGLER plant in Latvia, which accounts for 85% of our total energy consumption, we only use electricity from wind power.
